Chinese Man On The Run After Alleged Murder Attempt In Ogun

A Chinese national, identified simply as Yespon, who allegedly used an electric shocker on one of his father’s employees, known as Kelvin Godwin, at a timber factory in Ijebu-Ode last Tuesday, is currently on the run.

According to sources, trouble started when Godwin, a factory worker, was suspected of stealing flour believed to belong to Yespon’s father, known as Yenchingin.

During an argument which ensued between the two over the stolen flour, the absconding suspect was said to have drawn out the electric shocker and used it on Godwin, causing the victim to lose consciousness.

One of the sources said the victim was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment by other factory workers, including Yespon’s father.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, when contacted on Sunday, confirmed the incident, noting that the Obalende Divisional Police Headquarters had intensified efforts to arrest the fleeing suspect.

Odutola said, “There was an allegation that Godwin stole flour that belongs to the factory he works at. An investigation reveals the factory is owned by Yespon’s father. The suspect allegedly used an electric shocker on Godwin and fled the scene.

“Our men in the division have intensified efforts to arrest the suspect. However, the father, who is the owner of the factory, has been with the victim, who has been responding to treatment, in the hospital to offer him support. Meanwhile, the case will be transferred to the State CID for further investigation.”
